Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. f6, 1915.

Application filed January 15,1915. Serial N o. 2,313.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, HOWELL CHENEY, a citizenof the United States, residing at the citv of South Manchester, county of Hartford, in the State of Connecticut, have in' vented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarfs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to scarfs.

The' object of the invention, broadly speaking, is to provide an improved -construction whereby the scarf may be easily cleaned or renovated and pressed.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a view of a scarf constructed to embody my invention. Fig. 2 is adetail View. Fig. 3 is another detail view.

l representsI that portion of the scarf which may be termed the neck-band.

2 3 represents the exposed tie-ends.

The particular scarf shown is the four-inhand style. Within the tie or scarf covering is a lining ,which comprises the neck portion 4 and two end portions or tips which are suitably shaped to reinforce and give the proper conformation to the exposed parts or tie ends. One of these tips is indicated at 5 in Figs. l and 2. Each tip is preferably secured to the intermediate portion 4 of the lining, inany desired manner, for example, by stitches, as indicated at 6. The neck portion 4 of the lining is preferably stitched within the neck-band 1 of the tie covering, the extreme ends, however, being free, as indicated in Fig. 2.- Each tip 5 of the lining isfree from the tie covering, although incased within the ends. The tie ends are provided with suitable detachable fastenings which, in the preferred form, comprise small so-called ball and socket fasteners, the parts of which are respectively indicated at 7 8. A sufficient number of fastening devices are provided whereby the exposed part of the tie or scarf will properly envelop and hide the lining.

Assuming the tie has been soiled or that the tips of the lining have lost their shape,

itis merely necessary to disengage the fastening devices so as to open the ends of the tie and expose the lining tips. Then,

'turning back the ends of the tie covering, as

indicated in Fig. 2, the lining tips may be washed and ironed, or indeed may be readily replaced by new tips, it being merely necessary to separate the old lining tips from the neck-band portion 4. By being thus enabled to separate the ends of `the tie covering from the lining tips, the tie ends may be readily washed and pressed.

Although I have shown in the drawing only that lining tip which is adapted to the short end 3 of the tie, obviously-a corresponding-lining tip would be employed Vfor the long end 2. ln Fig. 3 the lining tip is omitted, the exposed short end 3 of the tie being opened up ready for washing or ironing. When this is done, the end 3 will be turned back and a new tip attached to the end of the neck portion 4 of the lining.

By this construction several advantages are attained, as already are pointed out, and a further advantage resides in the fact that the tip portion 5 of the lining need not necessarily be of the same material as the neck portion 4 of the lining, it being obviously desirable in some cases to make the tips of the lining of material of substantial thickness so as to give the proper body to the tie ends. l y

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

In a scarf, an extended fabric cover portie ends.
